Ideally you can work whatever solution deep into all cavity areas, which means gravity will be against if you're working from the bottom. I recently fixed some air inflatables using a method that might be helpful in your application. I was using E6000 and put Saran wrap over the glue dot to "push" it into the air leak hole. It helped to keep my hands clean but also hold the E6000 in place surrounding the hole. It does leave Saran wrap attached to the glue after it cures, but I wonder if that would work for you using whatever sealant you choose by applying it to the river and covering with Saran to "push" into any cavities and it would also counteract gravity wanting to pull all the glue back out. Just a thought! Whatever you do, I feel like it's probably worth trying and my guess is you'll at least have some luck in keeping water out. Keep us updated!</blockquote>
